Al-Rak, Qarmaybma, and Laq, with a book in the east of Al-Thail, in the village of Adhiya, to the village of Karari. The owner of this book is called (Al-Niy Al-Hashemi), who was famous in that area.

He learned the Quran with great effort, and his brothers found him and took him out of the book and warned him to stay away from it. He did not heed their warning and returned to what he was doing. They found him again, and his condition changed. He was constantly sad and crying. They returned him to the book on the condition that he would stay away from it.

He learned the Quran with great effort. He memorized the Noble Quran. After a few years, he returned to them and was skilled in riding and began to practice it. Those who wrote his biography say that he practiced this craft for a while, but he only made small bowls and gave them as charity to a widow who had lost her son. But the truth is that he practiced this craft for a long time, contrary to what his brothers said. His brothers went to an unknown place, and they searched for his place. His sister Amina died in his absence. He studied with a man from Shaqqit named Sheikh Muad, who taught people jurisprudence and some religious sciences. Then he left that school and went to another school with a man from the suburbs of Berber named H. Al-Dhakir, who would later become his preacher in Berber and overthrow the administration. He had a strong voice. He attended lessons on exegesis and hadith. In the year 170 AH, he returned to his homeland and went to Sheikh Muad Sharif. In the year Nur Al-Dathim, grandson of Sheikh Muad Al-Tayyib, one of the successors of Sheikh Muad Al-Madani, was with him in Medina Al-Munawwarah. He took the oath of the Samaliyya order at his hands and remained in his service to the extent that he ground his food with his own hands and cooked his food, not out of scarcity of those who would do it, but to draw closer to his teacher. He was devoted to fasting and worship until he received the license of caliphate from his teacher. Then his brothers came to him and urged him to return.
